Shallow Fate (Lily ABO) mute A - Chapter 17
The rain hasn’t stopped.
Raindrops pattered on the tiles, then slid down the eaves to the steps, leaving a row of moss that had accumulated over the years.
It was getting late, and it was raining again. After waiting for a long time, no rickshaw came. The receptionist of the theater gave Shen Zhimo an oil-paper umbrella.
“Thank you, I’ll wait and see.” She took the umbrella, but didn’t mean to leave.
Fang Yu glanced at the ground. The pair of dull student shoes had become fashionable openwork leather shoes. The reason for not wanting to leave was the same as before. She went down a step, bent down, and showed Shen Zhimo her not-so-broad back.
Shen Zhimo was dazed for a moment, as if she remembered something, but she didn’t act coy like she used to, but naturally lay on Fang Yu’s back and opened the oil-paper umbrella.
It’s good to have someone carry you home, but the bad thing is that this way Fang Yu can hear her heartbeat, so she leaned behind Fang Yu’s ear and started talking: “Ride the b1tch home.”
Fang Yu didn’t argue with her, lifted her leg root and shrugged upwards, walking towards the Xie’s house step by step.
“You can’t go anywhere.”
“Dingling… Dingling…”
Shen Zhimo clipped the bell between her fingers, “You asked for it.”
When they were close to the Xie’s house, Shen Zhimo came down from Fang Yu’s back. The lights of the Xie’s house were all on, which was really unusual, unless…
She walked forward on her own, keeping a distance from Fang Yu.
“Madam, the Young Marshal is waiting for you.” The soldier opened the heavy wooden door for her. She saw Xie Yuefeng sitting in the middle of the living room, with her usual half-smiling expression. The servants of the Xie family all lowered their heads. Seeing her come in, a few younger maids obviously breathed a sigh of relief.
Otherwise? From the first word the soldier said, she was beaten back to her original form.
Shen Zhimo walked towards the person on the sofa. When she got close, the big hand pulled her and dragged her into the shadow-covered embrace.
“You’ve been playing wild outside, and you’re only coming home so late.” Xie Yuefeng pressed her forehead against her forehead, and the lingering fragrance of perfume once again filled her nostrils.
She caught a glimpse of Fang Yu, who came in later, staring at them. The stupid dog couldn’t hide her emotions at all, and clenched her fists tightly.
In order to prevent Xie Yuefeng from suspecting anything, Shen Zhimo took the initiative to kiss Xie Yuefeng.
During this period, she was overwhelmed by the sudden freedom. Fang Yu’s arrival allowed her to temporarily strip off her identity as Mrs. Xie. She forgot, and was unwilling to consider that Xie Yuefeng would come back.
What’s the use of considering? Apart from resentment, the things that should be on her will still be on her.
“I didn’t know you would be back today…” After the kiss, she acted coquettishly and hung on Xie Yuefeng’s neck. Xie Yuefeng’s expression relaxed a little, and she hugged her to the pile of gift boxes.
“I bought these for you specially, do you like them?”
“I like them, I like everything you buy.” Shen Zhimo said, while glancing at the back, very good, Fang Yu has returned to the servant team, and Xie Yuefeng seems to have forgotten this person.
“Cousin, come and pick a few things you like too?” But Xie Yuefeng will not forget the most important thing after returning today.
“No need, she doesn’t like these.”
“She didn’t say it, how do you know?”
A despicable bastard… she didn’t believe that Xie Yuefeng didn’t know that Fang Yu was a mute.
Seeing that she couldn’t refuse, Shen Zhimo had to let Fang Yu out of the line.
Xie Yuefeng put down the person in her arms and slowly walked to Fang Yu, her eyes starting from her toes and finally falling on Fang Yu’s face.
This is her habit of looking at people. When looking at omega, she looks from top to bottom. The most important thing about an object is its beautiful appearance, and she doesn’t care much about the bottom line, just like the pile of exquisite gifts. As long as they look good, she is willing to pay money and hospitality.
For alpha like her, the bottom line and social status are the most important. The most direct manifestation of the outside is the alpha’s shoes. No matter how much dung is on the street, the shoes of rich young masters and ladies are always clean.
The pair of black cloth shoes that were half-wet by the rain made Xie Yuefeng relieved, and after smelling Fang Yu’s high-quality pheromone, she was a little angry again.
“Cousin, you are not very friendly.”
For an alpha to release pheromones to another alpha is a very aggressive behavior, especially since this is Xie Yuefeng’s deepest pain, and the mask of ease began to crack.
“She didn’t mean it, she recently injured that place while working.” Regarding this point, no one knows better than Shen Zhimo. She quickly came out to smooth things over, and it was originally her fault.
“Oh…” Xie Yuefeng temporarily accepted this statement, and turned to another tricky question, “Why do I think the clothes on cousin are a bit familiar?”
“It’s the clothes you don’t want, I picked them up and gave them to her to wear. If you don’t like it, I’ll let her throw them away.”
“Throw it away, buy a few more pieces for cousin.”
Things that are not wanted cannot be given to others.
“Okay… it’s already very late, let’s go to rest?”
Shen Zhimo just wanted to end this interrogation quickly. She pushed Xie Yuefeng, but Xie Yuefeng didn’t mean to leave.
“What’s the hurry? You haven’t properly introduced cousin yet.”
“There’s nothing to introduce, just a relative from my hometown. She used to farm the land, and now she has come to me to find a job as a handyman.”
“We are all family, so you let her be a handyman? It doesn’t matter if she can’t speak, can she write?”
Xie Yuefeng turned her side and continued to speak to Fang Yu.
For some reason, Fang Yu didn’t want to tell this alpha the truth, and she shook her head.
Just now Xie Yuefeng was sizing her up, and she was also sizing up Xie Yuefeng.
The alpha in front of her is tall, beautiful, and a section of neatly folded handkerchief is exposed from the chest pocket, which is the same color as the scarf. From this, it can be seen that she is a particular person. If there is no accident, when Xie Jin dies, she will inherit his 200,000 troops and become a new marshal who dominates one side.
She is not as good as her in any way, and it is normal for A-Mo to choose her.
But A-Mo always looks unhappy whenever she mentions this person. Does she treat A-Mo badly in private? A-Mo doesn’t like her, so why did she marry her?
…A-Mo doesn’t like herself, but she married herself… Fang Yu suddenly understood a little, and was unwilling to think about it further.
“Oh~ Then there’s no way~”
Xie Yuefeng seemed really sorry that she couldn’t find a good job for Fang Yu. She acted like an elder and patted Fang Yu’s shoulder, then stretched out one hand flat, pointing her index finger at Fang Yu, and stretched out her thumb upward with the other hand.
“Cousin, knowing you’re coming, I specially learned a sign language.”
This means “hello” in sign language.
She was so attentive that she was very moved, and she held her hand in the air, waiting for Fang Yu to return the gift, but this was tantamount to provocation for Fang Yu.
After waiting for a long time, Fang Yu remained motionless.
Xie Yuefeng’s smile froze.
“Forget it.” She withdrew her hand. A mute dared to make her frustrated.
It is said that some mutes are unable to speak because the nerves in their heads are compressed. It seems that this person is not only a mute but also a fool.
“What’s your name? How old are you? Are you married?” Xie Yuefeng threw out the last question.
These few questions made Shen Zhimo’s heart, which had just sunk, rise to her throat. She hurriedly took Xie Yuefeng’s arm.
“Her name is Fang Yu, and she is nineteen years old this year…”
Please, don’t look at me like this again. Shen Zhimo didn’t dare to look at Fang Yu’s already red eyes, and dragged Xie Yuefeng upstairs.
“Not married.”
